Personal Library of Stitches 7
For the fourth week of Sharon's class I made 3 samplers (4 x 6 inch). The first one is aida with Chevron stitches in 17 different threads.
The second one is purple felt with Ermine stitches and a whipped long armed chain.
And the last one is a 28 count blue linen with Ermine stitches and variations of the feather and buttonhole stitch. In the upper left corner I had fun again with the sword stitch.
There's a bigger photo of them at my Flickr-page.

I was very busy this week with my sampler for the second week of this class. Today I'll show you a few details. This first one is a whipped long armed chain with Colonial knots, detached chain stitches, cross stitches, seed stitches and French knots.
This 'eye' started with the button with needle weaving. Then I added fly stitches, pistil stitches and Colonial knots.

After watching this video at YouTube, there was only one thing I could do. Try! And I did. I made an inchie with betweed and paradox.
